What
is Trager?
The release of long term, deep seated physical and mental patterns
is the goal of the Trager approach.
With subtle rocking and elongating of the limbs, the body in invited
to find its natural alignment with a gentle contact.
Milton Trager's approach to body/mind integration has always focused on the connection
between the physical structure of the body and the unconscious mind.
Trager consists of two parts:
Mentastics and a table session. Mentastics is a word coined by Milton
Trager and his wife to mean mental gymnastics: gentle, self-directed
movements that enhance the value of a table session. These movements
teach us to play with gravity rather than be defeated by it.
A table session allows the practitioner to connect with the client on the
deepest levels of consciousness and through gentle, non-intrusive
touch, play along the meeting point of restriction and freedom.
About this Workshop
During this intensive we will explore the integrated structures and
functions between the jaw and pelvis. This may be of special interest
to Cranio Sacral
students and practitioners. The subtle rhythms of the cranium, sacrum and dura are manifestly
easier to feel and reinforce when the bracing in these powerful muscles
is eliminated.
This workshop will present valuable tools that any therapist can immediately
apply to their practice. We will use slides, lecture and discussion,
movement based on 'Trager Mentastics' and demonstrations, followed
by supervised practice.

Optional Accommodations are available in the
luxurious setting of Long
Beach Lodge Resort
Optional Accommodations:
Stay in the luxury cabins at Long
Beach Lodge starting at $155/shared including breakfast.
